Neighbours. Bah.

Dear neighbours,

I applaud your decision to recycle. No, really: it's good for the environment and all that. I, too, recycle regularly.

However, recycling does NOT mean piling mounds and mounds of unsorted TRASH in MY recycling bin.

No, really. I don't want your garbage in my recycling bin, which I take great pains to keep properly maintained. Please to do your own sorting and to get your own FREE green box from the local eco-centre, which is ONE WHOLE BLOCK AWAY.

No love,

Me

I used to get that too. And, some neighbours put their recycling in my bin. That's usually not a problem. But, every now and then, here in DDO, they forget to pick up the recycling. I don't want to bring other people's recycling back into my house. Thankfully, we now have large curbside bins.

What I did was to never crush or flatten anything that went in recycling. The object of that was to have a bin too full for other people to use.
